As the band "Unfiltered" worked its way through a rundown of rock standards one Friday afternoon, people would stop and stare into the windows of the band's practice room.
Not only were the onlookers interested because the whole band is made up of teenagers, but they were probably wondering why the band was making so much noise inside the Conway library.
The band is an outreach of the Horry County Teen Library program, and its members came together about a year ago for the first time.
"After a couple of weeks, we sort of became like brothers," said Hunter Ness, who plays bass.
The band worked through songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Enter Sandman," and "Man In The Box" during rehearsal--ironic because most of those songs were written before or right about the time most of these kids were born.
Thomas Gore, a 19-year-old keyboard player, is pulling double-duty lately. The band's lead singer recently moved away, and Gore has to fill in on the mic.
"I just have to kind of hold it down during rehearsals," said Gore. "Whatever I need to do," he said.
The band wants to encourage any one who is interested in singing to come out and see the rehearsals on Friday afternoons between 4:00 and 7:00 at the Conway library.
If you're interested, you can contact Stephanie Mikalatos with the library at (843) 915-7444.
"Anybody can do it," Ness said.
